GONE TO THE WALL.

The Assignment of Ives & CO.-Some Big
Figures Involved-How They Played Into
Their Own Hands.
NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-THE news of the
assignment of Ives & Co. was hailed by
the brokers on the Stock Exchange with
manifestations of pleasure, the prevailing
opinion being that it relieved the street Of
an element of dangerous uncertainty. The
assignee, William Nelson Cromwell, has
the confidence of the street. He said:
"The assignment has not the usual signiti-
canoe of such affairs. 1t will simply act
as an adjustment, the assignee receiv-
ing the aid Of a powerful syndicate
which has already taken active steps to
reorganize and protect the creditors"
The assignee was selected by the combined
interests. He says that he expects that all
claims except those of the railway COM
panies will be paid in full. He thinks the
liabilities are something under $10,000,O00.
Messrs. Fellowes, Morgan & Co. are re-
ported to have lost 100000 by the fail
ure, but this can not be confirmed.
The current account of how Ives & Co.
got into the debt of the Cincinnati, Hamil-
ton & Dayton railway to the extent Of
$1,000, 900, is as follows: They secured con-
trolling interests and their banking house
was declared the New York agent of the
road. When the preferred stock was is
sued, it was sent to Ives & Co., to place.
Instead of distributing, they bought it in
themselves from themselves as Cincinnati,
Hamilton & Dayton agents. They gave
in payment check certified by Ives &
Co. This check was deposited with Ives Sc
Co., as bankers for the road. Ives &
Co., now assign, holding the securities as
purchase, and the check a deposit.

A PLEA 70 BOYS FOR HELP.

1t Isn't Manly to BE Idle and Let Your
Tired Mother Bear All the Burdens.
Why is it that some boys are willing
to sit around doing nothing, while
| their overworked mother is struggling
against nature and fate to do about
half the work waiting for their handsp
Only the other day we saw three large,
able-bodied boys lounging about the
house. not knowing what to do with
themselves, while their mother, tired
and pale, was trying to do all the work
forssa large family and company alone.

victuals? Some have an idea that this
is girls work. and it isn't manly and
of no practical use. On the contrary,
there is much to benefit him in such
work, the most important of which is
the idea that it isn't manly to let the
weaker vessel carry all the burdens,
when it is possible for strong young
hands to help.
Most boys who are not oyerworked
in other directions would gladly help
in the house if they were asked to do

work properly. Many a smart bow

And all the lady visitors
Were looking up to see;

DEAD BODIES AT FOREST.


FOREST, ILL.,, Aug. 1.-THE following is a
partial list of the killed that were brought
here in special train:
Mrs. VIM. Ball, Peoria.
Susie Ball, Peoria.
Miss Pearl Adams, Peoria.
VIM. Regain, Peoria.
Mrs. French, Peoria.
Phena Prahm, Peoria.
Mrs. Halendin, Peoria.
Mrs. Oaldejo and daughter, Peoria.
Fred. Weinnette and daughter Pearl,
Peoria.
Miss Kate Cress, Washington.
Con Smith, Peoria, fatally injured.
Everything is in the widest confusion.
Many are mangled beyond recognition.
Fully score of the ladies of Chats
worth volunteered their services and rap
idly became adept nurses under the
instructions of the doctors, and admins
tered medicine, made bandages, and fan
ned the many victims.
Among the saddest cases was that Of a
little boy named frankie, whose mother
had been killed. The boy was suffering
from a crushed leg, and amputation be-
came necessary. The operation was per-
formed at the house of Rev. Mr.. Birch,
where the little fellow had been taken.
His full name was not known. His recov-
cry is doubtful. Strange to say this is the
only case of amputation necessary so far.
In one corner of the stage in the town
hall lay beautiful young lady named
Julia Waldejo, who was moaning in
agony while her life ebbed away. DR..
Pallard pronounced her case hopeless on
account of the severe internal injuries she
had received.
Another victim whose death is nom en-
tarily expected is a man whose under
clothing is marked Smith. He has been
unconscious since his removal from the
wrecked train, and is suffering from con-
cussion of the brain. He is a man of about
forty-five years, and wears a short brown
beard.
On another cot lies Mrs. W. 81. Walters,
suffering from compound fracture of the
right leg, a broken jaw and deep gashes
on her head and arms. Her injuries will,
no doubt, end fatally.
A sad sight is that presented on a mat
tress in the auditorium of the hall, where
a Mrs. Clark, propped up by numerous
pillows, is dying of internal injuries. be-
sides several fractures and bruises about
her person. Mrs. Walters daughter, Miss
Walters, is also seriously injured, but may
recover.
Following is a list of others who are
dangerously hurt and lying in the Town
Hall:

DEAD AND DYING ROBBEn

DEAD AND DYING ROBBED BY vANDALS.
PEORIA, ILL.,, Aug. 12.-This was undoubt.
edly the largest excursion that ever pulled
out of this city. Two engines were re-
quired to pull it, but only one of these was
attached at the depot, the other being sent
on ahead, and being taken on after the
train had cleared the Illinois river bridge,
one engine being placed at the rear Of the
trai N to assist it in starting at the depot.
Before the train started E. B. McKlintock,
one of the engineers, expostulated with
General Superintendent Armstrong about
the way the train was made up, insisting
that it ought to be taken out in two Sec
tions, but his words were of no avail.
Poor fellow; he is dead now.
One of the survivors states that as soon
as the first engine cleared the bridge the
brush beneath famed up as if Oil had been
ignited. He was fastened in the wreck,
and cried for assistance. He was aided by
some one outside, and as soon as he was
safely out Of the wreck his rescuer grasped
his watch and tore it from him. Another
man was robbed of his chain, the vandal
failing to get his watch. Also the fingers
of several of the dead were cut off upon
which were valuable rings. The robbing
of the dead and injured gave rise to the
terrible report that the bridge had been
fired and the train purposely wrecked for
the sake of plumber, but no confidence is
placed in the report here. 1t is believed
that the robbing was the work of vandaIs
who happened to be at hand.
